Isaia 65: 17-21
65:17 Per ecco, I create the new heavens and the new earth. And the former things will not be in memory and will not enter into the heart. 65:18 But you will be glad and exult, even forever, in these things that I create. Per ecco, I create Jerusalem as an exultation, and its people as a joy. 65:19 And I will exult in Jerusalem, and I will rejoice in my people. And neither a voice of weeping, nor a voice of outcry, will be heard in her anymore. 65:20 There will no longer be an infant of only a few days there, nor an elder who does not complete his days. For a mere child dies at a hundred years of age, and a sinner of a hundred years will be accursed. 65:21 And they will build houses, and will inhabit them. And they will plant vineyards, and will eat their fruits. The Holy Gospel According to John 4: 43-54
4:43 Poi, after two days, he departed from there, and he traveled into Galilee. 4:44 For Jesus himself offered testimony that a Prophet has no honor in his own country. 4:45 E così, when he had arrived in Galilee, the Galileans received him, because they had seen all that he had done at Jerusalem, in the day of the feast. For they also went to the feast day. 4:46 Then he went again into Cana of Galilee, where he made water into wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 4:47 Since he had heard that Jesus came to Galilee from Judea, he sent to him and begged him to come down and heal his son. For he was beginning to die. 4:48 Perciò, gli disse Gesù, “Unless you have seen signs and wonders, you do not believe.” 4:49 The ruler said to him, "Signore, come down before my son dies.” 4:50 gli disse Gesù, "Andare, your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and so he went away. 4:51 Poi, as he was going down, his servants met him. And they reported to him, saying that his son was alive. 4:52 Perciò, he asked them at which hour he had become better. And they said to him, “Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.” 4:53 Then the father realized that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And both he and his entire household believed. 4:54 This next sign was the second that Jesus accomplished, after he had arrived in Galilee from Judea.

The Second Book of Chronicles 36: 14-16, 19-23
36:14 Then too, all the leaders of the priests, with the people, transgressed iniquitously, in accord with all the abominations of the Gentiles. And they polluted the house of the Lord, which he had sanctified to himself in Jerusalem. 36:15 Then the Lord, the God of their fathers, sent to them, by the hand of his messengers, rising in the night and daily admonishing them. For he was lenient to his people and to his habitation. 36:16 But they ridiculed the messengers of God, and they gave little weight to his words, and they mocked the prophets, until the fury of the Lord ascended against his people, and there was no remedy. 36:19 The enemies set fire to the house of God, and they destroyed the wall of Jerusalem. They burned down all the towers. And whatever was precious, they demolished. 36:20 If anyone had escaped from the sword, he was led into Babylon. And he served the king and his sons, until the king of Persia would command, 36:21 and the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled, and the land would celebrate her Sabbaths. For during all the days of the desolation, she kept a Sabbath, until the seventy years were completed. 36:22 Poi, in the first year of Cyrus, il re dei Persiani, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah, the Lord stirred up the heart of Cyrus, il re dei Persiani, who commanded this to be proclaimed throughout his entire kingdom, e anche per iscritto, detto: 36:23 “Così dice Ciro, il re dei Persiani: Il Signore, il Dio del cielo, has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth. And he has instructed me that I should build for him a house in Jerusalem, che è in Giudea. Chi di voi appartiene a tutto il suo popolo?? May the Lord his God be with him, and let him ascend.” The Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians 2: 4-10
2:4 Eppure ancora, Dio, che è ricco di misericordia, per la grandissima carità con cui ci ha amati, 2:5 anche quando eravamo morti nei nostri peccati, ci ha vivificati insieme in Cristo, per la cui grazia sei stato salvato. 2:6 E ci ha cresciuti insieme, e ci ha fatto sedere insieme nei cieli, in Cristo Gesù, 2:7 in modo che possa mostrare, nelle età presto per arrivare, l'abbondante ricchezza della sua grazia, per la sua bontà verso di noi in Cristo Gesù. 2:8 Per grazia, sei stato salvato mediante la fede. E questo non è da voi stessi, perché è un dono di Dio. 2:9 E questo non è di opere, perché nessuno si glori. 2:10 Perché noi siamo opera sua, creato in Cristo Gesù per le buone opere che Dio ha preparato e nelle quali dobbiamo camminare. John 3: 14- 21
3:14 E proprio come Mosè innalzò il serpente nel deserto, così anche il Figlio dell'uomo deve essere innalzato, 3:15 perché chiunque crede in lui non perisca, ma può avere la vita eterna. 3:16 Perché Dio ha tanto amato il mondo da dare il suo Figlio unigenito, perché non periscano quanti credono in lui, ma può avere la vita eterna. 3:17 Perché Dio non ha mandato suo Figlio nel mondo, per giudicare il mondo, ma affinché il mondo si salvi per mezzo di lui. 3:18 Chi crede in lui non è giudicato. Ma chi non crede è già giudicato, perché non crede nel nome dell'unigenito Figlio di Dio. 3:19 E questo è il giudizio: che la Luce è venuta nel mondo, e gli uomini amavano le tenebre più della luce. Perché le loro opere erano malvagie. 3:20 Perché chiunque fa il male odia la Luce e non va verso la Luce, in modo che le sue opere non possano essere corrette. 3:21 Ma chi agisce secondo verità va verso la Luce, perché si manifestino le sue opere, perché sono state compiute in Dio”.

Lettura
Osea: 6:1-6
6:1 In their tribulation, they will arise early to me. Come, let us return to the Lord. 6:2 For he has seized us, and he will heal us. He will strike, and he will cure us. 6:3 He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, and we will live in his sight. We will understand, and we will continue on, so that we may know the Lord. His landing place has been prepared like the first light of morning, and he will come to us like the early and the late rains of the land. 6:4 What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What am I to do with you, Judah? Your mercy is like the morning mist, and like the dew passing away in the morning. 6:5 A causa di ciò, I have cut them with the prophets, I have slain them with the words of my mouth; and your opinions will depart like the light. 6:6 For I desired mercy and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God more than holocausts. Vangelo
The Holy Gospel According to Luke 18: 9-14
18:9 Now about certain persons who consider themselves to be just, while disdaining others, he told also this parable: 18:10 “Two men ascended to the temple, in order to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. 18:11 Standing, the Pharisee prayed within himself in this way: ‘O God, I give thanks to you that I am not like the rest of men: robbers, unjust, adulterers, even as this tax collector chooses to be. 18:12 I fast twice between Sabbaths. I give tithes from all that I possess.’ 18:13 And the tax collector, standing at a distance, was not willing to even lift up his eyes to heaven. But he struck his chest, detto: ‘O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.’ 18:14 Ti dico, this one descended to his house justified, but not the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled; and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
